ABAP code to compare 7.40 inline data declaration with original syntax

The below ABAP code uses the older none in-line data declarations. This allows you to see the coding differences/benefits of the later inline syntax. It may also be useful if you are using an older version of SAP as some of the newer syntax above, such as the @DATA is not available until 4.70 EHP 8.

DATA:


ld_return  TYPE BAPIRET2 ,
ld_infocube  TYPE BAPI6200-INFOCUBE ,
it_selection  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI6200SL ,
wa_selection  LIKE LINE OF it_selection,
ld_keydate  TYPE BAPI6200-KEYDATE ,
it_characteristics  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI6200FD ,
wa_characteristics  LIKE LINE OF it_characteristics,
it_keyfigures  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI6200FD ,
wa_keyfigures  LIKE LINE OF it_keyfigures,
it_data  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI6100DA ,
